13th December 2019Hull: Warnings after burglaries and related car thefts

Police are issuing advice after a number of recent car thefts where car keys were stolen during house burglaries.
Superintendent Jenny Bristow said, “What happened in a number of recent crimes is that intruders have broken into houses, during the night while people are asleep, to steal car keys and anything else they can lay their hands on. The keys have then been used to steal cars.
“We are investigating all these offences but think it’s also helpful to remind residents of some crime prevention advice.”
- Always lock and secure your home, especially at night and to store car keys in a safe place.
- If you are able to – keep your car locked in a garage
- Lock garden and drive gates if you have them
- Consider buying a good CCTV system
- Never hang keys on the inside of a door and don’t leave keys on show or in an obvious place. Hide house and car keys within the house somewhere safe.
“If anyone sees anything suspicious, anybody looking as though they are checking a property or vehicle out, or anything out of the ordinary please contact us.”
